Michael Richmond

Mike Richmond serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Center for Broker Services, where he oversees the acquisition of commercial real estate assets to support federal agency workspace requirements nationwide. His role centers on executing lease agreements for nonresidential office space, ensuring alignment with GSA’s mission to optimize federal footprints through strategic, cost-effective property solutions. He manages end-to-end contracting processes—from market research and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—focusing exclusively on long-term leasing arrangements that meet operational, security, and sustainability standards for federal tenants. Richmond maintains consistent relationships with a select group of institutional real estate owners and developers, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established commercial landlords with proven experience in federal leasing, particularly those holding high-profile or mission-critical properties in urban and suburban markets. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on direct negotiations and competitive leasing processes rather than open bid solicitations, emphasizing stability and long-term occupancy agreements. There is no use of socioeconomic set-asides in his procurement portfolio; all awards are issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of property suitability, location, and cost-efficiency over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the agency’s focus on mission-critical space acquisition rather than small business development goals. His entire acquisition portfolio is concentrated under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—demonstrating deep specialization in commercial real estate leasing. He exclusively procures leasehold interests in office buildings and mixed-use properties, with expertise in evaluating building systems, compliance with federal accessibility and security standards, and lease structuring that supports multi-year federal occupancy needs.
